After over a week of waiting for the first child of Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge to arrive, the world is now on high alert after the royal couple suddenly left Kate's hometown for London on Friday.

Although a Palace spokesperson has denied to comment on where Wills and Kate are headed, royal sources say the Duchess is not in labour yet and is awaiting the arrival of the Prince or Princess of Cambridge at the Palace.

Duchess Kate has been spreading her time between London and her parents house in Bucklebury before the baby is born, sparking speculation this week the baby may be born outside of London depending on where the Duchess is at the time.
